And now we have Tropical Storm PHILIPPE located in the Atlantic due east of the windward antillies and Carribean Sea. But why stop there? Sitting for a long time NE of Puerto Rico over a hot spot was what we now call Tropical Depression 18. Having moved westward towards the Bahamas, it is targeting the center of the Gulf of Mexico. This could be Rita. Wait. Rita would be 17th. Only one Tropical Depression did not get strong enough to be named.

Of course the Pacific had it worse last year. If I remember, they had either 24 or 26 powerful storms. But the trend is on. Many hurricanes and cyclones in both oceans.
